Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 1 - Tattoo - full transcript

Isaac starts the new school term with another living nightmare, forced to trust a motorcycle female to keep him out of the clutches of a 'Simaese' werewolf comprising dashing twin brothers Ethan and Aiden, new in his and Scott's class. Finding Allison is back in school, unhoped, Scott is hopeful, even confident, this year everything will be better, easier, for him and his loved ones. Scott must save hospitalized Isaac and staff including his mother, and Derek him, from a vicious Alpha and his vixen accomplices. As a 'reward' for getting trough the gloomy lonely summer, he's determined to get a tattoo, but his healing power undoes it after all the pain, until Derek shows it stays if branded with a torch. Afterward, he stumbles upon Derek's nightmare: the ruthless pack of alpha werewolves has arrived, which even allied with Peter they may prove no match for.

Previously on Teen Wolf.

You can't just go around
turning people into werewolves.

I can if they're willing.

Scott, I'm trying
to break up with you.

It's okay, because I know
we're gonna be together.

It's their symbol, and
it means they're coming.

Who?

An Alpha pack.

And they're not coming.

They're already here.

[Electricity crackling]

[Groaning]

Quiet.

Stay with me.

We're almost there.

My neck.

From their claws.

It's how they share memories.

But I don't remember anything.

Also how they steal them.

Listen to me, no matter what
happens you hold on, okay?

You hold on tight.

[Engine rumbling]

I hear something.



Someone's coming.

[Growls]

Faster!

Two of them.

[Horn blares]

No!

Remember what I said before?

Hold on?

Boy, it's a good thing
you drew me a picture.

Hey, Scott, sure you don't
want something like this?

Too soon?

Yeah.

I don't know, man, are
you sure about this?

I mean, these things are
pretty permanent, you know?

I'm not changing my mind.

Okay, but why two bands?

I just like it.

But don't you think your
first tattoo should have some

sort of meaning, you
know, or something?

Getting a tattoo
means something.

- I don't think that's...
- He's right, tattooing goes

back thousands of years.

The tahitian word "tatua"
means "to leave a mark."

Like a rite of passage.

Yeah, you see?

He gets it.

He's covered in
tattoos, Scott, literally.

Okay, you ready?

You ain't got any problems
with needles, do you?

Nope.

[Needle buzzes]

I tend to get a little
squeamish though, so... [mumbles]

Oh, man.

You okay?

Kinda burns.

Yes, you just had your skin stabbed
about 100,000 times with a needle.

Yeah, but I don't think it's
supposed to feel like this.

[Groans]

Oh, God.

No, it's definitely not
supposed to feel like this.

Oh, I gotta take
this thing off.

No, no, no, no, Scott.

Oh, Scott, please stop.

Whoa, whoa.

Oh, no, what?

No, no, come on.

It healed.

Ah, thank God.

I hated it.

Sorry.

It is not a double date.

It is a group thing.

Do they know
it's a group thing?

'Cause I told you that I'm not
ready to get back out there.

You were in France and didn't
do any dating for four months?

Did you?

- I mean, after...
- Do not say his name.

Is he okay?

I mean, did
everything work out?

Well, the doctors looked like
total idiots when he turned up

alive, but everyone got over it.

And yes, Derek taught him the
Werewolf 101, like how not

to randomly kill people
during a full moon.

So then you've talked to him?

Uh, not since he
left for London.

You mean since he dad
moved him to London.

Whatever, he left.

And seriously, an American
werewolf in London?

Like, that's not
gonna be a disaster.

So you're totally over him?

Would I be going on a
double date if I wasn't?

[Chuckles]

Yes, it is a double date.

It's not an orgy.

[Chuckles]

You'll live.

Nah, we agreed to give each other
the summer... no texts, no calls.

So then how do you know she
won't be back at school then?

After everything that happened, I'm
not sure she's coming back at all.

I think she is.

I'd say pretty
definite, you know.

Like one hundred percent.

Can we just drive

Scott, it's a red light.

Will you go? Just go!

But the light.

I think we should talk to her, I
just think we should say something.

No. No, no, Stiles, come on.

Oh, my God, dude, no.

Hey!

[Tires screeching]

You know, they probably
didn't see us.

[Sighs]

You all right?

What are you doing?

I'm driving.

We're right behind them.

Okay, well, do
you see any turns?

I don't want it to look

Well, what do
you want me to do?

I don't know, anything.

[Tires screech]

Lydia, stop.

We need to go back
and talk to them.

They stopped too.

Why would they stop?

It's Stiles and Scott.

Do you really wanna try
applying logic to those two?

Maybe we should go back.

[Glass shatters]

[Both screaming]

Are you okay?

It came out of nowhere.

Are you hurt?

It ran right into us.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Well, I'm not okay.

[Exhales]

I am totally freaking out.

How the hell does it
just run into us?

I saw its eyes right
before it hit us.

It was like it... it was
like it was crazy.

No, it was scared.

Actually... Terrified.

Hey, wait.

Wait a minute.

I know this one.

What happened, Isaac?

The girl, all right,
she's worse, okay?

Are you not healing?

I will. Will you just... would
you just help her, please?

Okay, can you take him?

We gotta move him, Melissa.

All right, take him.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Find him.

I have to find him.

What are you saying?

I have to... I
have to tell him.

Who?

The Alpha.

Find the Alpha.

What do you want

No.

Okay, let's get

Not Hale.

So there has to be a way to

Allison, I love you.

So if you need to do that thing

surgery, which is obviously

gonna be very confusing

Okay, can you do something?

I'm relatively new

And there's a sheriff's deputy that's

Do you have any other
emergency werewolf contacts?

Yeah.

Call Scott.

Believe me, sir.

I understand.

But you have to understand me.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Since the amnesiac in 215

can't tell us anything, I need
the girl with the modified

It's kind of unlikely,
since she's heavily sedated.

Ah, great.

Um, well, when she, um... when she
un-sedates, will you give me a call?

of property damage to answer for.

And I don't want her just
walking out of here.

I got a suicidal deer, birds
flying through windows, pets

I gotta tell you, I'm starting to
think there's something in the water.

To be honest, I was gonna give you
a call about an incident of my own.

At first, I thought I might
have had a break-in...

some sick individual looking to release
some particularly violent impulse.

Until I got a closer look and
realized what actually happened.

They did it to themselves.

Yeah, I see it.

I don't know.

It's just something I
traced with my fingers.

Why is this so
important to you?

word "tattoo" means?

To mark something.

Well, that's in tahitian.

In samoan, it means
"open wound."

I knew I wanted to get a
tattoo when I turned 18.

I always wanted one.

I just decided to get it now,
to make it kind of a reward.

For what?

For not calling or
texting Allison all summer.

Even when I really wanted to, even
when it was so hard not to sometimes.

I was trying to give her
the space she wants.

Goin' four months
later, it still hurts.

- Like an open wound.

Yeah.

than anything you've ever felt.

Ah, that's great.

Do it.

Oh, wow.

That's a... that's a lot for me.

that as my cue.

Nope.
